Fortean Case Documentary Scripts
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I run a documentary-style YouTube channel devoted to the Fortean world, and I need carefully researched narrative scripts that let viewers step inside the most compelling cryptid cases. Each story must stand on solid facts while carrying the cinematic tension and pacing of a mini-documentary.
Primary focus: cryptid investigations. That said, the channel often branches into alien & UFO encounters, unsolved disappearances, government coverups, conspiracies, outright mysteries and strands of alternative history, so an ability to weave these angles in where relevant is key.
What I’m after
• One complete script per assignment, structured for a 20-25-minute video (roughly 2,500–4,000 words).
• Cold-open hook, clear three-act flow, and a concise outro with viewer CTA.
• Verifiable research: cite every claim with books, newspaper archives, FOIA documents or peer-reviewed sources—no wiki links as primary references.
• Tone: authoritative yet conversational, something that would fit comfortably between a BBC history doc and a top-tier true-crime podcast.
• File delivered in Google Docs so I can leave time-coded production notes.
Acceptance checklist
– At least three credible, properly formatted citations.
– Minimal conjecture; if speculation is introduced, label it as such.
– Spelling and grammar ready for on-screen subtitles.
Drop me a short example paragraph on a fortean case you’ve covered before, along with a note on where you pulled the information. If it hooks me, we’ll move straight into the first full script.
